According to http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/graphviz.html, graphviz will be involved with the ruby1.8-removal transition. So it won't be that far away, that somebody has to either backport ruby1.9 or ruby2.0 support to graphviz, drop the ruby extension, or update graphviz to a version compatible with a new ruby (and lua, and guile). > And I say this as a heavy Ubuntu user -- with maybe a dozen machines between > home and work.

Not sure about the unfriendlyness. It's more of a disservice to ship year's old software (both graphviz and ggobi), and in this case you have to outwage having a new graphviz working with recent interpreter versions and working on more architectures, or a feature complete ggobi. So yes, if you feel that this issue won't hit ggobi for jessie, feel free to ignore it. Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
